INTRODUCTION In FY 10‐11, the Department’s total energy consumption, from electricity, natural gas, and steam, resulted in the emission of approximately 3,153.26 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). The total cost incurred by the department for energy use was $2,123,001.24. The Department’s GHG Emissions from Unleaded Gasoline was 389.3 gallons consumed, resulting in 3.43 metric tons of CO2. The cost incurred to the Department was $1,405.07. The Department also consumed 74.7 CNG which resulted in 0.46 metric tons of CO2. The cost incurred to the Department was $122.17. The Department’s overarching climate goals and implementation plan is to meet the Mayor’s challenge of reducing energy consumption in the City owned Moscone Center by 50%. The 2010 Energy Study identified savings of up to 41% with an undetermined additional savings that will be created by the retro commissioning project. In addition, the restroom renovation and potential cistern projects can save an estimated 2M gallons of water per year. The Department is also focused on education and cultural change for the occupants, managers and visitors at the Moscone Center. There are several initiative underway to drive these behavioral changes that will significantly reduce consumption at the facility. Our intent is to implement capital projects as well as no cost/low cost process changes that will dramatically shift the focus on energy efficiency at Moscone. The Moscone Center will continue to be a leading venue in sustainability and maintain an award winning history: 2009 US EPA Environmental Achievement Award for a sustainable building that protects the environment 2004 EPA/DOE Green power Award for on‐site generators 2001 Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award, State of California 2001 Wrap Award for outstanding achievement as a commercial recycler 2000 Wrap Award for outstanding achievement as a commercial recycler 1999 Wrap Award for outstanding achievement as a commercial recycler 1 City and County of San Francisco Convention Facilities Department Climate Action Plan Data year: Fiscal Year 2010‐2011 Climate Liaison: John Noguchi Date: March 31, 2012 2.

  • Civic Center Public Realm Plan Informational Item
    DATE: January 13, 2016 TO: Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Nicholas Perry, Planner/Urban Designer (415) 575-9066 REVIEWED BY: Timothy Frye, Preservation Coordinator RE: Civic Center Public Realm Plan Informational Item SUMMARY The Civic Center Public Realm Plan is a new project led by the San Francisco Planning Department, which will create a comprehensive, long-term vision for improvements to the Civic Center’s plazas, streets, and other public spaces. The Plan is an interagency effort managed by Planning in partnership with multiple City agencies including, San Francisco Public Works, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, San Francisco Recreation & Parks, San Francisco Real Estate Division, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, San Francisco Department of Public Health, and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development. Coordination and partnerships with the Civic Center’s numerous stakeholder groups will also be a key component of the Plan. The Plan is part of the City’s larger initiative to improve the Civic Center as both a neighborhood gathering space and a public commons for all San Franciscans. This memo provides an overview of the Plan’s scope in anticipation of informational presentations at the Historic Preservation Commission hearing on January 20, 2016 and the Planning Commission hearing on January 28, 2016. BACKGROUND Since it was first conceived over a century-ago, numerous plans for improving the Civic Center’s public realm have been created. The City’s 1912 Beaux Arts plan for the Civic Center guided the location and design of buildings and public spaces into the 1950s. However, the Great Depression and World War II largely ceased major development under the original plan.

    CIVIC CENTER PROPOSAL DIANNE FEINSTEIN MAYOR NOVEMBER 1987 Office of the Mayor DIANNE FEWSI'EIN Sniv FRnrrcisco iVovember 3, 1987 Honorable Members The Board of Supervisors City Hall, Room 235 San Francisco, California 94102 Rudy Nothenberg, Chief Administrative Officer Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: Recently, in my State of the City message, I made some general proposals for the Civic Center and promised to amplify them later for your review. What follows; here are my specific recommendations. This is accompanied by a supporting document: the Civic Center Plan prepared at my request b~ the Planning Department, covering all issues in detail and responding to your request in Resolution 938-86 of October 25, 1986. I urge each of you to study this plan in detail. These proposals would provide a central consolidated courthouse, a new main library, ~ new Asian Act Museum, funded privately, as well as Civic Center plaza and mall improvements. Specific recommendations are also made on financing and implementation. I regret that this comprehensive set of proposals comes to. you late in my tenure in office, however, once work began it became clear that there were a large number of unanswered questions requiring detailed tecluiical review. For example, it was essential that we know the projected space needs of the courts, the main library, the museums and city offices intq the next century. We also needed to know the feasibility of r~enovating~ and expanding the main library, while exploruig alternative uses for this grand building. We now have the necessary studies and consultants' analyses to proceed. Our fiscal situation requires, and these proposals assume, that the General Fund not be the source of support.

  • Yerba Buena Cemetery, San Francisco's First Munici
    • Late 19th Century – Before the 1906 Earthquake and Fire o 1849-1860s: Yerba Buena Cemetery, San Francisco’s first municipal cemetery, begins operations on land that would later become Civic Center. Approximately 9,000 people were buried here beginning in 1849. By the mid-1860s, a cemetery was no longer desirable in this location, and the project of relocating bodies from Yerba Buena Cemetery to alternative sites began. By 1870, the cemetery was converted into Yerba Buena Park. o 1896: The Pioneer Monument is installed at Marshall Square, a former park east of Larkin Street where the Public Library is now located. o 1897: After 25 years of construction, San Francisco’s Old City Hall is completed. It collapsed nine years after its completion in the first 60 seconds of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire. o 1899: A fire fox system is installed in Civic Center and throughout the City. Using telegraph technology, the boxes remain active today. They are recognizable for their single red post topped with a small red and gold box. o 1905: Architect and urban designer Daniel Burnham develops a plan for the City of San Francisco, including the Civic Center. The plan is inspired by L’Enfant’s Beaux Arts plan for Washington, DC. Though the plan is not immediately implemented, it would continue to guide the design of the Civic Center in the aftermath of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. • 1906-1937: City Beautiful and the Beaux Arts o 1906: The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire devastates San Francisco.

  • Civic Center Public Realm Design

The Plan is being closely coordinated with the Civic Center Commons Initiative, an on-going effort to improve Civic Center as a neighborhood gathering space and public commons for all San Franciscans (see www.civiccentercommons.org for more information). The Plan is currently midway through its design and community engagement phase. This memo provides an overview of the Plan and design work completed to-date in anticipation of an informational presentation at Civic Design Review Committee meeting on June 25, 2018. BACKGROUND The greater Civic Center area’s rapidly growing residential and worker population, when combined with the existing population in the Tenderloin, SoMa, and other nearby neighborhoods, is placing increasing demands on Civic Center’s public realm. Multiple City agencies have worked on improving individual public spaces within Civic Center, but the City lacks a current comprehensive plan that ensures a cohesive and coordinated approach to public realm design, operations and management.
